Can't really take any chances OP, you need to reflash your mobo and HDD. Some malware will reinitialize themselves after the OS is reinstalled.

Flash BIOS with newest BIOS and reinstall OS formatting the drive.

i'm really a dumb mother fucker and i hate asking but are there any guides for shit like this?

boot into a non-botnet operating system and delete the infected files

Stupid questions thread, not tech support, nuke it from orbit and smash all your USB sticks

This has about a 10% chance of working these days, might've worked a few years ago though

So am I really that fucked?

Or will a format save me?

Usually wipe & reinstall works, but flashing BIOS could also be necessary in less common scenarios. No way to know what exactly you have

What Mobo do you have? I have an ASUS board and flashing the BIOS was tardshit simple
